‘Sweet Tooth’ surrounds a world that was changed by a deadly pandemic called “The Great Crumble” that clashed with the inexplicable emergence of hybrid babies born half human and half animal. Not sure if the hybrids are the cause of the virus, humans fear and hunt them.
Gus (played by Christian Convery) is a hybrid deer boy who has spent ten years of his life in a secluded forest with his father (played by Will Forte), hiding from the world.
But when hunters show up at their house, Gus flees and befriends Nonso’s character, Tommy Jepperd. Tommy Jepperd gives the boy the nickname ‘Sweet Tooth’ after his reaction to being given a chocolate bar for the first time.
Together, Jepperd and Gus embark on an adventure to what’s left of American while searching for answers that include Jepper’s past, Gus’ origins, and the “true meaning of home.”
